ENGLISH PARLIAME ENT.
Proceedings in the House OF
Commons.
LONDON. ,July o.,

LoNDONJ Ouiy
In the House of Commons this evening
Mr.. Morley asked what had appeared to ex-
plain the proclamation of the whole of Ire
land since the government had assured the
House that the law was as well obeyed in
some parts of Ireland as in any part of Great
Britain.
Balfour, chief secretary for Ireland, re-
piled that he had no reason to change his
opinion that some parts of Ireland were as
quiet as some parts of England. What the
government had done was not to apply the
whole crimes act to Ireland generally but
only to the sub sections. dealing with ri,tne
and unlawful assemblies and the obstruction
of the police.
Sexton asked whether the executive, before
issuing the proclamstions, could distinguish
the counties where it was necessary to pre-
vent crime from those where 1t was necessary
to punish crime
Balfour said that in every case in which
the county had been specially proclaimed the
proclamation had been issued because the
government believed in the actual existence
of crime or intimidation.
The House then went into committee on
the land bill
lyon taking up the first clause extending
to the lessers the benefits of the act of 1881.
Parnell proposed an amendment.
The bill as it now stands gives option to
the tenant Ut landlord to make application to
the court to fix the Ient.
Parnell urged that the tenant alone sgould
have the right to apply, the period of such
application to be limited to three years.

The Methodist camp ground is altogether
too moist for use, and the meetings are being
held in the large tabernacle. Sunday the
building was completely packed with people,
red and blue evidently being the fashionable
color of the audience Gen. Booth, the head
of the Army, took charge of the meeting
which was full of zeal and enthusiasm. The
interior of the tabernacle is unfinished, and
the songs and volleys of the soldiers rang
among the lofty beams and rafters with ar
effect such as probably the building never
experienced before. With the thunder of the
bass drum, the rattle of a score of tambour-
ines, the banjo of the converted minstrel, the
strains of two concertinas, the concerted clap

trained voices, together with the rattle of the

RAILROAD SWINDLED.
The Missouri Pacific Loses One Million
Dollars ExOrbitant Prices Charged by
Contractors for Railroad Ties.

NEw YORK, July %.
special from ST. Louis to the Tribune
says: 1t was reported here today that the
Missouri Pacific system had been swin3led
out of million dollars in three wears by
means of contracts for ties. and that Gould
was greatly alarmed by the discovery of these
Irregularities, some time ago, and it Is said
thst to succession of surprises, which greet
ed him in his prolonged investigation of the
matter, his il! health is partly due.
immediately upon his arrival at st. Louis,
Gould summoned we'll known timber dealer
from the south and for a whole day the two
were eloseted in special cnr, The next dsy
locomotive with tender was hitched to
the car and il was whisked over the Iron
Mountain road, The train never stopped till
it got to Bald Knob, Texas, where q confer
ance was held with A. F. Smith Of A. F.
Smith & Co.
Mr.. Gould took copious notes of all that
Smith had to say. The next place visited
was Gulliver, Ark, and here a long and ear
nest chat was had with Cumberson & Co,
who we're among the sub contractors and
who had furnished Gould's railroad with ties,
and it is reported that when these gentlemen
discovered that the prices at which they had
been induced to furnish ties were much low
er than the amount charged the company by
the chief contractor, they had little hesitsncy
in helping Mr.. Gould to knowledge of the
facts.
Gould discovered that at Bald Knob, Gul
liver and Forest City, the price charged for
railroad ties was from 81 to 90 cents apiece
and when he compared these sums with what
had been paid to Contractor Cowau, ne found
that the company had the worst of it TO the
extent of nearly ten cents on every tie.
In other words ties that had been furnished
the contractors for 81 cents cost the company
at least 80 cents.
1t is asserted that timber ties for which
his railroad had paid the sum of 3S cents
apiece, had been supplied within ten miles of
Texsrkana for % cents, while in other parts
of Texas the cost to the contractor had beer
from 26 TO 80, while the price to the Nilsson
ri Pacific was 38.
deeper insight into the extent of this cor.
ner in the tie market revealed that it reached
out aver the railway network of the south
and west, including not only the Iron Noun
tain road and It's many branches but the MIS-
souri,, Kansas and Texas, Chicago, Burlng-
ton and Quincy, Rock Island and even 9th
ers.
1t was discovered that the plan was not Of
mushroom growth, but caretally and secretly
nurtured for three years. The number OF
ties for which such exorbitant prices had
been paid exceeded ten millions and at the
least calculation the Missouri Pacific and its
tributaries lost 81, ,000, 900.
